(1) BE1883 & Baker identify John's first wife as Margaret, daughter of Roger de Mortimer of Wigmore, and report that both his sons were by his second wife, Johanna or Joan. TCP does not provide any details on his wives. Noting that BP1934 reports that John had only one son by his first wife, we follow BP1934.
(2) BE1883 & Baker combine the 3 generations shown here as this next John and the next 2 generations into just 2 generations as follows: this next John (m1. Alice Despenser, m2. Constance le Blount, d 1407), next John (m. Elizabeth Berkeley, d 1487). The information provided by TCP (which 'kicks in' for the 1st Lord) would support both BE1883 and BP1934 but, as an 80 year gap between the deaths of father & son seems long, we follow BP1934 which shows the following.

Main source(s): BE1883 ('Sutton of Dudley'), TCP ('Dudley'), BP1934 ('Baron Dudley') with some support/contradiction from 'The History and Antiquities of the County of Northampton' (George Baker, vol 1, 1830, 'Lexinton, Sutton Baron de Dudley, Butler, and Plowden', p470+)Back to top of page
